Megan Thee Stallion’s Doc Will Detail Her Struggles

The overriding goal of the documentary is to set the record straight on Megan Thee Stallion’s life. She’s been the focus of countless allegations and rumors. “You’ve heard the hot takes and read the stories — now go straight to the source,” the description for In Her Own Words stated.

Following her music video commercial for Amazon, marketing icon Megan Thee Stallion has unveiled her Prime Day merch.

The list of items on Megan’s “hot girl summer tour” landing page includes shorts ($45), a hat ($32), and a two-piece cropped t-sirt and booty shorts set ($90). There’s also a tote bag ($25), crewneck ($75), and a bathing suit ($50). If you want to buy a Jujutsu Kaisen poster while you’re on Amazon, Megan would probably like that, too.

In an interview with an interview with Essence, Megan talked about her Prime Day picks. “You know, I had to have my Hot Girl Summer Tour merch for my Prime Day picks, so that was an easy decision. One of my favorite Prime Day picks was the Hot Dog Summer T-Shirt – one for all the Hotties who have dogs or have friends with dogs. It was just so cute!” she said.

The “Cobra” rapper also discussed her many personalities in the Amazon commercial. “My favorite had to be the Megan Thee Cosplayer alter-ego. But I also had a blast filming the Megan Thee Stylist part of the video with 4oe – he is a natural star, so I enjoyed watching him shine,” she said about her dog (need 4oe and Brisket to link up ASAP). “I loved all the personas because they each showed a different side of my interests and passions.”

Megan Thee Stallion Is An Awful Lifeguard But A Fantastic Shopper In Amazon’s New Prime Day Ad

by

Amazon’s 10th Prime Day is going down soon, on July 16 and 17. We know this because Megan Thee Stallion just helped announce the news in a new commercial. The two-minute video is actually based on “It’s Prime Day,” a new song Meg wrote specifically for the ad. (The tune will also be a bonus track on the Amazon Music release of her upcoming album Megan and is currently streaming exclusively on Amazon Music.)

The song/video see the rapper going through all the versions of “Megan Thee” she could possibly be thanks to the broad selection of items available on Amazon. Sparked by different products she comes across, Megan tries everything from cosplay (which she’s familiar with at this point) to being a lifeguard (she won’t be saving lives anytime soon) to jumping a dirtbike over a bunch of Amazon delivery vans (at which she’s so good that she even gets some mid-air shopping in).

Products Megan features in the video (and others) will be shoppable, too, as Amazon has set up a landing page full of Meg’s picks, which include early deals on items from her new Hot Girl Summer tour merch collection.

In a statement, Jamil Ghani, vice president of Amazon Prime, says, “Prime Day is a celebration of the value we bring to members all year long, and features millions of deals across more than 35 product categories as well as discounts on Amazon devices, quality entertainment, groceries, travel, and more during the event. In fact, over the course of last year, Amazon customers saved nearly $24 billion from deals and coupons — with Prime members enjoying the vast majority of those savings — including over $2.5 billion during Prime Day 2023.”

“Mr. & Mrs. Smith” Trailer Sees Donald Glover & Maya Erksine Bring New Meaning To A “Work Marriage”

by

The first trailer for the Amazon Prime remake of Mr. & Mrs. Smith has dropped, showcasing Donald Glover (Atlanta) and Maya Erskine (PEN15) in the titular roles. The trailer doesn’t reveal a lot about the show. However, it perfectly contrasts the pair’s loveless marriage with the high-octane nature of their work. The supporting cast includes everyone from Parker Posey to Paul Dano to Alexander Skarsgård.

However, the project, comprised of eight episodes, changes a lot from the 2005 film it is inspired by. Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie played a wealthy couple whose failing marriage is revitalized by the fact that they learn they are assassins for rival companies tasked with killing each other. Glover and Erskine are instead spies who are married as part of their long-term cover. As such, their entire marriage is a shame and the trailer goes to great lengths to show just how painfully loveless their partnership is. The show is set to debut on February 2.

Who Is Starring In Mr. & Mrs. Smith?

Donald Glover and Maya Erskine are set to play the titular married couple. Glover, also known by his musical handle Childish Gambino, has built himself a stellar acting resume. He is best known for Atlanta, which he also created. However, he has plenty of comedic experience as well with the likes of Community. He also recently appeared as a live-action cameo in Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse while also reprising his Adventure Time voice role for Fionna & Cake. Meanwhile, Erskine has developed a reputation for her deadpan humor in roles like PEN15, Insecure, and Plus One.

Filling out the cast is a huge collection of Hollywood heavyweights. Parker Posey, Paul Dano, Alexander Skarsgård, and Sarah Paulson are all set to appear in the show. However, their roles aren’t all that clear. Dano and Paulson both briefly appear in the trailer. At first glance, Dano appears to be the Smiths’ neighbor while Paulson is seemingly their couple’s therapist. Are you excited for Mr. & Mrs. Smith? Let us know in the comments.

N.O.R.E Tears Up While Remembering Big Pun

by

N.O.R.E is a rap legend in every way someone can be. His time as part of Capone-N-Noreaga and his work since is still massively influential to the genre. Despite his status, N.O.R.E never hesitates to give credit to other artists when they deserve it. A new Amazon mini-doc called Hip-Hop X Siempre seeks to explore the crossover between hip-hop and Latin culture. To tell the story they recruited influential figures from both worlds to discuss essential experiences they’ve had between the genres.

One of those figures involved is N.O.R.E himself. During one of the most memorable moments in the documentary he remembers his friend and frequent collaborator Big Pun. “Pun was probably the greatest person I ever met in life,” N.O.R.E begins. “Not greatest Puerto Rican the greatest person I ever met in life.” N.O.R.E also told stories of Pun’s generosity. “I remember me and Pun both being platinum, and if he found out I was in the Bronx, he would buy me an Avirex and a PlayStation.” He noted that Pun was still so giving despite their similar levels of success. “I was like, ‘Yo bro, I’m getting’ the same amount of money as you,’ but he always wanted to give.”

N.O.R.E’s Emotional Recollection

Big Pun is a big focal point of the documentary. They also got collaborator Fat Joe to come on and discuss more of the musical elements of his impact. Meanwhile, Pun is far from the only rapper N.O.R.E has a lot of love for. Just last week a clip made the rounds of him meeting up with Nas backstage after a show in Paris. The two are clearly fond of each other and exchange a hug and a nice moment in the video.

After a recent performance at the Lovers & Friends Festival N.O.R.E hinted that he could be close to retiring from live performances altogether. At the end of his rare performance, he left fans wondering if they would ever get another shot to see him. What do you think of N.O.R.E’s emotional memories of Big Pun? Let us know in the comment section below.

Even Debbie Harry Herself Seems Impressed By Jensen Ackles’ ‘Epic’ Blondie Cover On ‘The Boys’

by
Soldier Boy Jensen Ackles The Boys
Amazon

Jensen Ackles is known for many things, mostly acting, but also the fact that he is no stranger to belting out a tune every once in a while and kind of killing it. Perhaps the writers of The Boys found this out and decided to use his talents for good in a new clip from the Amazon series.

Ackles’ character, a superhero by the name of Solider Boy (not that one), managed to perform a dazzling cover of Blondie’s 1980 hit “Rapture” during a preview of the very eighties show Solid Gold, complete with disco ball visuals and dancers donning side-ponies and body suits. Not only did Soldier Boy actually do a good job, but the cover made its way to Blondie herself, Debbie Harry.

Harry, who seems to be a fan of the show, responded to the video on Twitter, calling the performance “epic” and saying she was “speechless.”

Anthony Starr aka Homelander responded, “Epic indeed!! The version you never knew you needed,” to which Harry delightedly responded: “Homelander lazer us!!!” Perhaps there will be a Blondie/The Boys crossover in the newly ordered fourth season of the series? The icon even went back and forth with the official The Boys Twitter account, which makes a crossover even more likely. Let’s make it happen!
